I have logs like  
[{

"actionName": "Report build started",

"data": {  
"sessionId": "0a048bb7-a8c2-48cd-a1ac-7c2d8384d628",  
"requestTimestamp": "10.03.2016 00:17:57.426",  
"targetCount": 1,  
"targetType": "object",

},  
"user": {  
"login": "Somelogin",  
"accountLogin": "Somelogin",  
"accountId": 738185,  
"accountName": "somename",  
"olsonId": "Asia/Irkutsk",  
"utcOffset": "+08:00"  
}  
},  
{  
"actionId": "bf727a6a-9d8a-4a35-852b-7bfb9d69dc60",  
"actionName": "Report build started",  
"timestamp": "10.03.2016 00:17:57.426",  
"data": {  
"sessionId": "0a048bb7-a8c2-48cd-a1ac-7c2d8384d628",  
"requestTimestamp": "10.03.2016 00:17:57.426",  
"targetCount": 1,  
"targetType": "object",  
"targetCardinality": "by one",  
"dataSource": "unknown",  
"begin": "09.03.2016 08:00:00.000",  
"end": "10.03.2016 08:00:00.000",  
"beginUtc": "09.03.2016 00:00:00.000",  
"endUtc": "10.03.2016 00:00:00.000",  
"reportTypeId": "22111ab1-fdfe-4d91-9a36-5f3704ea30dd",  
"reportName": "somereportname"  
},  
"user": {  
"login": "Somelogin",  
"accountLogin": "Somelogin",  
"accountId": 738185,  
"accountName": "somename",  
"olsonId": "Asia/Irkutsk",
